I am new here, need motivation, not sure how to add friends etc.

Welcome to the forums MelindaBev. I'm new here too, but I'm loving it so much!

Here's some weight loss tips I have been using and they work for me very, very well.

These are effective ways to reduce your weight, as well as to prevent weight gain in the future. Here are ways to lose weight without diet or exercise. All of them are based on science -

1. Chew Thoroughly and Slow Down
2. Use Smaller Plates For Unhealthy Foods
3. Eat Plenty of Protein
4. Store Unhealthy Foods Out of Sight
5. Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
6. Drink Water Regularly
7. Serve Yourself Smaller Portions
8. Eat Without Electronic Distractions
9. Sleep Well and Avoid Stress
10. Eliminate Sugary Drinks
11. Serve Unhealthy Food on Red Plates

I hope this will help you.
